Keep us posted when you get it home and any additional parts you find.

Like I mentioned earlier, the 2 hardest parts to find for a big block car are the fan shroud and the 4-speed radiator with the 'XY' tank code... In 30 years, I have never seen another radiator available but have seen 3 or 4 fan shrouds.

Crazy rare. Is the Camaro BB 4-speed radiator specific to the 375HP 396 or shared with the 350HP 396?

Hans,
The same 4-speed radiator was also used in the 350hp 396 cars (L34). However, many of the L34 cars came with an automatic trans, so they received a different fill side tank.
It just seems like most brass radiators that people have had sitting around over the years have been recycled.
